This is a collection of short stories ranging from topics of robots, juvenile delinquents and as many other topics that you could imagine. The vast range of topics is what I found to be the least pleasing about this collection. The stories were well written and from the most part I enjoyed the ones that were on topics I was interested in.

Stiletto and Cast were my favorites, both characters were very real and ironically very human. Reformatory was my least favorite due to its violent ending I was unprepared for.

My largest critique is that the table of contents was very simplistic and with a breadth of topics like this and vague titles It was very difficult to know if I would like a story until I was mostly finished with it. In one instance there was a story I read and was all but a few paragraphs from the end when I realized it was going to have a bloody and horrific ending. Had I known that I would not have read that piece. What I would have loved to see was the title and a few words of metadata on the subject matter so I could make an informed opinion. (Yes I know that information is available on the goodreads sight, but it would have been nice in the context of the book it self).

Overall I would recommend the book but if you are squeamish or picky, have goodreads open so you are aware of what is coming in each of the very different reads.
